Miss Sally Kinter, one of the oldest residents in the town of Pittsford, died yesterday morning at the old family home in the southwest part of the town. Charles Kinter, her father, was one of the pioneers of Pittsford, settling there in the early eighteenth century, from the Mohawk valley, and took up one hundred acres of land, choosing that which was not so thickly wooded as some, and consequently in five years had it all under cultivation. Miss Kinter was one of a family of eleven sons and daughters, only one of which, Miss Jane Kinter, survives her. She was born in 1815, and had always resided in the home where she died. She was of a retiring disposition, and for many years has scarcely left the farm.
